Which proves my point.
Neither did Romney.
I'm reserving judgment on whatever it is that Romney is proposing until he actually puts something forward. Although, I question the prudence of the statements he has made (see my post #151). I only entered this thread when mbraynard made the ridiculous statement that "Everyone here on free republic also supports immigration reform." Obviously by reading all of the posts on this thread that statement was not accurate.
No, my point is that our legal immigration policy is just as big a problem as our illegal immigration problem.
I disagree.
Good. That was my main point: the paraphrased statement is not detailed enough to make a judgement. If he does in fact come out in favor of some Amnesty or Amnesty-lite, I too will oppose him.
This is just like the instance where a reporter writes "Romney praises Obama," when all Romney did was commend Obama for explicitly leaving open the possibility of putting GM through bankruptcy. That's a major step up from what Bush, for whom bankrupcty was not an option.

We don't even know what he actually said. The only public record of that statement is a paraphrase by some reporter. It's not even a direct quote. All I am saying is that you should reserve judgement until you hear what he actually said, in context.
Unfortunately, too many people seem willing to condemn a man based on what some reporter's unclear paraphrase of a statement. That's something I really deplore.
BTW - Romney already put a plan forward. Over a year ago.
